Christmas Came Calling : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


Christmas on the corner and taking shelter from the storm .

There was an old man  huddled up there trying to keep warm .

No Christmas tree was lit up but the stars above shone bright .

He slept there on a corner all alone on Christmas night .

Around him the shadows danced underneath a dim street light .

The tramp was unaware  he had some company that night .

An priest sat down by his side and carried him to his home .

Just before the arrival of a powerful cyclone .

When the morning came the old man found

lots of new things there .

He was wrapped in woolen blankets no worse off for the wear .

He though he'd died and went to heaven for a while at  least .

The docror arrived on the orders of a Catholic Priest .

The old man was given a tonic with some pills as well ,

Christmas came a calling and then the old man said farewell .

By Paul McCann
